Lessons learned; I spawn somewhere in a big city, no clue whatsoever. Go to the first piano house i see and i pick up a pick axe and some shirts so i have a couple of rags. I see a school and start to loot it. Found myself some new clothes with a bit more inventory space and some soda's and some fresh fruit. Also the first zombies appear and i manage to deal with them without too much trouble. On to the next building, a prison. Found a children's backpack, a sporter 22 and some new boots. But no ammo. I'm off to a good start. Again some zombies wich are relatively dispatched quickly. Walking north, find a I find a road wich says i'm in Cherno, OK I know where I am. I go to the appartment outskirts, find a supermarket, got myself a firemans axe and a orange mountain backpack. At that moment I recalled that there is an airport nearby. Let's go over there. The moment I arrive at the airport I see another player running into the "staff building" so I try to make contact and offering to trade. No answer. Lessons learned from the previous time I leave him in peace and make my way to the ATC tower. There I find a 9mm piston and a Colt Python. Still no ammo but I am a happy camper, I've got myself a Python wich is the coolest handgun ever. I feel very lucky indeed punk. Next "staff building" i found somee 9mm ammo so i can chamber a round in my pistol. Things are looking better indeed. :) What next, I want to go to green mountain. And along the way loot the military base. So i start walking. I spot a two story barn. Two story barns have loot! Let's loot then ;) Enter the barn, go upstairs, misstep myself, fall down, YOU ARE DEAD ....................(enter cursing here)

@ Survivor Thx for the info. Right now I role play as the lone friendly survivor. But I think you are right and maybe startled the guy and he took the sure for the unsure. Next time I will be more cautious but I was so happy to see another person that I just ran to him and wanted to make contact. But it is a brutal world out there;)

@ McTabish THX for the reply but I wanted some player interaction and boy did I get it Lets say it is a lesson learned the hard way. At that moment I was pretty p*ss*d off but you can respawn and now there is a slightly wiser Bambi strolling through DayZ

Fairly new to the game, only 10 hrs in game. I tried the game by myself, very bad idea. I was getting killed within 5 minutes every time so I started to YouTube and read some guides. And surprisingly it went a lot better. I spawned at Kamyshovo, looted some houses for food and started venturing north in the woods. I quickly arrived at Rog and found an axe. Now I'm armed zeds, so beware ;) At that point I planned my way to the military base south of NWAF, using the woods as cover. Long walk and some zeds later I arrived, got geared up, pretty good. The only thing I was missing was a gun. I had loads of ammo but nothing to shoot it with. Suddenly I spot another player rushing the base carrying a Mosin, which I had tons of ammo for. So I got this bright idea: I will have a talk with him and maybe we can exchange some stuff. He went in to the command building so I also entered only to see him waiting with him Mosin aimed at my face. Shot went off, black screen stating you are dead. My children are a few curses wiser and I've learned a new valuable lesson :D
